Hogg half comb refills

I have the 4 3/4 inch super for the hogg half comb kit. I cannot find anyone who sells the replacement kit. Does anyone know where a person can find them. If not will the ross rounds work in the same 4 3/4 super. Thanks for all your help.

Re: Hogg half comb refills

I got two kits from Mann Lkae this year, I had some damaged lids and they are going to try to get me some but may not have any. They said the Inventor of the Hogg system died about a year ago and so far his family has not done anything with the Patent so nothing has been made for about a year, they have no idea if this system will ever be made again.

Re: Hogg half comb refills

Thanks, I recently received that same information. I have also since found out that the Ross rounds will fit into my super with some very small modifications. I did like the Hogg system, it was very simple to use. I hope the family and start it back up. I would surely buy them again.

Re: Hogg half comb refills

I have used them. I loved them but have not been able to find the replacement cartridges. Hopefully Better Bee will have the replacement kits. I like them better than the Ross rounds myself. Each has its advantages and disadvantages but they seemed to fill out the Hoggs better than the Ross. Just my opinion.

Convenience, efficiency. I can package a super or RR in 1/10th the time it takes to cut, drain and package cut comb. I do make some foundationless for chunk honey. It is funny, both comb honey types are difficult to sell in Indiana. Most people have never heard or seen it. I usually sell it to transplants from the east or south.

But, it appears that Mr. Danehower is selling only the finished honey comb, and not the empty Hogg cassettes for use by other beekeepers.
